This afternoon I met up with my past clients to drop off their proofs. To my surprise they also had something for me. I have to say I was blown away, Jeanette and Justin really put some time into it. I love my clients. Thank you guys for choosing me as your wedding photographer.

Crystal Tea Room

2009-08-28T02:32:00.005-04:00

Last month I got to assist and shoot with two amazing Philadelphia photographers, Rebecca Barger and Heather Fowler. Rebecca's style is awesome. She shoots like she was working for Vanity Fair, very fashion forward. Heather's style is astounding. I would say whimsical with a punch of elegance. Their difference really ties a wedding together well. I loved working with these two photogs and would recommend them to anyone.

Here are a few of my shots from Erica and Jeffery's Crystal Tea Room Wedding. Enjoy

Karlo Gesner

2009-08-26T23:49:00.004-04:00

Just wanted to say a big Happy Birthday to my friend and photographer Karlo Gesner. It's funny how the world works, cuz my run in with Karlo was so random. Karlo is an amazing photographer that loves to learn new skills plus gives back just as much. I'm always bugging him with my crazy ideas and he's always there to listen. I could not ask for a better photographer friend.

Make sure you check out his work at Karlophoto.com

Yes, Karlo and I shop at the same store. lol

Pat and Jenna Engagement Downtown Lancaster

2009-08-25T04:05:00.006-04:00

Last Friday Pat and Jenna got in a quickie engagement session in Downtown Lancaster. We started with a bite to eat at Green Man then hit the town before the rain. I must say I had a lot of fun with these two. I love how Pat says he hates getting his photo taken but he's posing like a champ. And Jenna, she's just gorgeous so I didn't have to direct her at all. I'm gonna have fun photographing their wedding in two weeks. Can't wait :P

LYP El Serrano

2009-08-20T23:25:00.001-04:00

This months Lancaster Young Professional's was held at El Serrano. I must say that I have eaten here but never knew how cool this place was. Manuel the owner took us on this awesome tour of his fabulous restaurant. We saw all three restaurants, the wine cellar and even his office. The coolest part is that everything from the chairs you sat in to the bar that you ordered your drinks from were hand made. El Serrano is not only a restaurant, it's a work of art.

Happy fake birthday to me. You know how social network sites ask you for your personal info. Well on my Facebook account, I put in that my birthday was May 15th. Guess what, I got lots of birthday wishes. Even from people who wished me happy birthday on April 15th. Thank you everyone for playing along. Made it a fun May 15th.

2009-05-09T18:45:00.002-04:00

So sorry for not posting anything up in awhile, I have been busy. But I'm sure you're thinking that's no excuse, and you're right. Life has really picked up for me and now I'm no longer relaxing, ok I am. My job is so easy. I could not ask for a better gig. I just want to take this moment to say thank you to all the couples who have help make me who I am today. To all the new couples, I look forward to our friendship. And to the people who just read my blog, thank you for the support. It really brightens up my day when I noticed a visitor on my page. Again, thank you. You guys rock.

Heidi and I have been together for 5 years. I must admit that it's really hard for me to come up with new ways to surprise her. This year I got her a cake. On the cake, I had a timeline of our relationship. She loved it :) Now I am gonna work on surprising her for our 10 year anniversary.

P.S.
Martine from House of Clarendon is the best. Thank you.

Makes me think

2009-02-28T23:58:00.003-05:00

So I was sitting with some friends at Spyros and noticed a family of three come into the restaurant. If you know me at all, you know I like to observe people. As I was watching the family I felt really sad. They looked like they were living out of their car. I don't know what they ordered but I hope they got enough to eat. And this morning, Heidi told me that a guy came into the restaurant and bought a sandwich for a homeless guy. This whole day makes me think about how lucky I am. There are people out there without a job and I'm at home working in my pjs.

Super Bowl Commercial

2009-02-03T23:05:00.002-05:00

So I think super bowl commercials work, because Denny's aired their free Grand Slam deal and everyone took notice. We were up by 5:15 am, in line by 6, and waited in line for an hour. That I think had to be the best marketing ever.

So tonight I was hanging with Lev and Sara. I like being at their house because they always have awesome snakes. But when I was about to leave, Lev broke out the Kimchi. I was never a big fan of Kimchi but tonight he changed my mind. So when I got home I found this video on You Tube on how to make it yourself. Check it out.

Happy New Years

2009-01-01T01:33:00.001-05:00

I know everyone had parties to go to but this year Heidi and I kept it lazy. We slept in until 8pm, then sat around in our PJs until 10pm. By 11pm we were ready to head over to my grandmas house. When I got to my car, I noticed that my back tire was flat. Headed over to Turkeyhill to get some air and still made it over to grandmas with 30 mins to spare. Ate some ham and other random foods, turned on CNN to watch the ball drop. I must say CNN sucks for New Years because they didn't even show the numbers as it started to count down. Over all, I am happy for '09 because '08 was, uncool. Happy New Years everyone :)

Dinner with Zach and Tina

2008-12-22T17:37:00.000-05:00

I think my favorite part of my job is when I get to spend time with my clients before their wedding. Getting to know them as a couple instead of two people who will be saying I do and posing for photos. Hanging out in your own home with good food and great stories beats any lavish party. Thank you Zach and Tina for the awesome dinner. Heidi and I really enjoyed ourselves.
